Durable Water Repellency
Durable Water Repellency (DWR) is a treatment applied to fabrics that prevents water absorption and causes water to bead up and roll off. The treatment consists of fluoropolymers that create surface tension, causing water droplets to coalesce and slide off the fabric. DWR is used on outerwear such as jackets and pants to keep you dry during wet weather. It is an essential feature for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers as it provides additional protection against adverse conditions. DWR technology is also environmentally friendly as it reduces the need for excessive washing and re-treatment, thus extending the lifespan of the clothing.

PFC Free
PFC (perfluorinated chemicals) are commonly used in outdoor gear to enhance water and stain resistance, but they are persistent and harmful to the environment. PFC-free technology uses alternative chemical compounds to achieve similar results without harmful effects. This technology is used in various outdoor gear, including jackets, pants, and footwear. PFC-free technology differs from traditional PFC-based treatments as it is safer for the environment and helps reduce the negative impact of outdoor gear on the planet.
